Says "S.I.E." .... Not PlayStation.

It might not mean much for PlayStation as a console.
If it was a showcase it would have been announced already
Totoki said "long-term vision for SONY GROUP". Not PlayStation, not SIE.

Meaning, he was talking about the Corporate Strategy Meeeting of the Sony Group they had this week, and maybe also the Business Segments Meeting the Sony Group will have May 30th.

He wasn't talking about a Showcase at all.

Every console maker has problems- Sony are cowards who are gun shy if they fail once with an IP and don't communicate a lot, Xbox is trash that can't release a good game to save their lives and this emboldens Sony's bad practices, Nintendo releases mario, DK, or a combination of mario+whatever.

Im kinda worried. The showcase was already supposed to happen. Seems like something was internally delayed. Maybe they didnt have enough content ready or they werent satisifed with what they saw. Not sure, but something will happend next week. If it's a state of play, then It means that first party stuff were internally delayed and they just have to fulfill third party obligations with a ghost show.

Destiny 3
I'd say its too soon, they continue with Destiny 2 and after it will release Marathon and Matter.

Supermassive Directive 8020
Supermassive was sold to someone else, but Sony hired their good talent at Firesprite or Ballistic Moon.

Bluepoint Bloodborne 2
There is no "Bluepoint game". After Demon's Souls their whole team did work on GoWR as support team. After it they are working as support team in other project, don't have enough designers to lead their own AAA game.

Resident Evil 9
Capcom is busy with many other games both announced and unannounced that will be released before. RE9 won't release anywhere soon.

Doom The Dark Ages gameplay
It's a MS game, so will be instead in the MS conference.

Forza Horizon 5 PS5 port

Halo Infinite PS5 port

Pentiment PS5 port

Gears of War 4 & 5 PS5 port
I don't see why MS would announce anything on a Sony show, they have their own show. On top of that, Pentiment was already released on PS4 and PS5.

TLOU III teaser
A year ago ND was working in minimum two new SP games and any of them was TLOU3, so won't show anything releated to TLOU3.

Im kinda worried. The showcase was already supposed to happen. Seems like something was internally delayed.
No, you believed some Xbox fanboy liers who as always try to overhype some Sony event to get the fans dissapointed.

The Sony showcase/conference almost always has been in June, so very likely always has been planned to be in June 2024.

Which problems?
No games to show? Having their best studios work on live service games only to completely change strategy? Having released more ports this year alone than first party games since GoW Ragnarok?

This current SOP doesn't need to be amazing it just needs to tell PS5 owners what else is coming this year... 2025 is already gonna be a gigantic year for them.. so they just need to land the ship for the remainder of this year.

Concord needs to hit it out the park and I am really hoping it does as the premise has always intrigued me.

I assume we'll see something from Guerrilla Games in some way.

We know of Astro Bot apparently.

They can drop a Ghost of Tsushima teaser as well.

Hopefully we will see something from Housemarque this year.

PlayStation is never getting the privilege of a GTA 6 trailer even though they have a deal.
